Former Roots restaurant to reopen as Wolf Peach

The former Roots restaurant, in Milwaukee's Brewers Hill neighborhood, is being replaced by a restaurant that features "rustic European" cuisine.

The new eatery, Wolf Peach, will open Oct. 31 at 1818 N. Hubbard St. The name refers to the German word for tomato, which translates literally to "wolf peach," according to a statement from restaurant owner Tim Dixon.

The menu will feature items made with tomatoes, including salads, wood-fired pizzas, and fresh fish and vegan options. The atmosphere will be casual, and there will be an emphasis on using regional ingredients. Daniel Jacobs, who was chef at Roots, is Wolf Peach's executive chef.
